Lets make this greenprint a reality!

A blue print has been laid out on how Silicon Valley can become more environmentally friendly. This article, "Joint Venture: Silicon Valley Network lays out green vision for region" states that we can benefit from the climate crisis we are currently enduring. We have the opportunity to innovate and invent new technologies that will help Silicon Valley prosper. Many green jobs are becoming available because of the economic crisis we are in. The formation of the Silicon Valley Climate Prosperity Council has also just been announced. This group is funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the nonprofit Global Urban Development. The purpose of this association is to make the "greenprint" a reality! Along with this, a forty four page document was composed based primarily on "four areas where Silicon Valley's technological expertise and innovative business style can lead to cleaner skies, green jobs and an expanded market for green services and products. And it offers suggestions on how those areas can be improved." The four areas include; renewable energy, building efficiency, clean transportation, and green infrastructure. The article closes with the idea that in order to make this area more environmentally friendly, we will have to spend even more of our government dollars. However, like the mass amount spent on discovering the internet, this amount of money will be worth the end product.

I agree with the ideas and actions wanting to be taken in this article. If we don't realize the condition that our environment is in now and that we need to repair it, what could happen decades or even years from now? It seems that a full proof plan is being laid out and if the right people put it into action, I think Silicon Valley will benefit immensely from this greenprint.
